Spirotech deaerator, used one?

[gmartine]

Anybody used one on a system? Found one in the shed, looks unused but no idea how long it's been there. Sounds like the float assembly still operates but not sure whether to risk it on an install, mind you they offer a 20yr guarantee so should be okay.

I want to try one.
Can you fit it at your house?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

No don't see the point unless your topping your system up a lot or very dirty

 

[gmartine]

Shaun's logic prevails.

 

[Scott_D]

If it removes air it should reduce corrosion?

 

[gmartine]

It should but anymore efficiently than a system with an auto bottle vent or two I don't know.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

If it removes air it should reduce corrosion?

Correct but what happens with any air in the rads

It's one of them a good clean system that has no leaks won't need one

 

[Scott_D]

I thought they were to remove micro bubbles from water when it is hottest (flow from boiler)
Other air would still collect at the top of rads

As Scott says they remove micro bubbles which are caused by chemicals like x100.
Due to the high flow rates it’s I possible to get rid of the therefore you should install the deaerator which is especially designed to get rid of them.

Shaun, if you want try and go on a course they show you how those things work , they cut them in half to show you live how hose work. It’s an amazing product

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Bet they never showed you they leak after time like any auto air vent

Also it just collects the micro bubbles until there's enough to warrent a realise so a piece of copper and auto air vent does the same
